THE NORTHEAST WORKING EQUIPMENT GROUP was invited by fantaSea Scuba of Milltown, N.J., to demonstrate our surface-supplied gear for an entire week in August 1997 at the Middlesex County Fair in East Brunswick, New Jersey. We managed to have at least three divers on hand for every day of the fair, and a grand time was had by all. The weather and water were warm and the crowds were friendly -- and the guys from fantaSea could not have been more enthusiastic hosts. We also use the fantaSea tank for the indoor Beneath The Sea scuba show in the Secaucus Meadowlands Convention Center in March each year.
